Fact: operatingsystem

Purpose: Return the name of the operating system.

Resolution:

  Uses the name key of the os structured fact, which itself
  operates on the following conditions:

  If the kernel is a Linux kernel, check for the existence of a selection of
  files in `/etc/` to find the specific flavour.
  On SunOS based kernels, attempt to determine the flavour, otherwise return Solaris.
  On systems other than Linux, use the kernel fact's value.
